One of mine is being banned by a certain big name artist. This happened after their snarky friend got owned simply because they tried to school someone on the color teal. They were in fact wrong on the description of the color despite telling the other person they were the idiot for using it wrong. I obtained the dictionary definition and informed them it was rude to go around insulting all the people who commented anyway. This displeased the big name (on Deviant) artist since rude or not, this was their friend and it seemed they thought it was also OK to curse at their own fans. To this day, over that nonsense, I am still banned from their page over a year later.

I wonder what I should say if I ever meet them in person? Hm.

However, I'm glad to say that I know MANY big name artists who are not like this and whom I consider my role models rather than that variety. I usually stop watching artists, no matter how talented they are, if they are bitchy to their own fans/watchers without due cause; for no reason or because of constructive criticism. It bugs me. Maybe it's a blowfish sort of mechanism, like they think they're scaring away critiques or keeping people controlled through fear. Then again, maybe they really are just jerks.
